Cloth, Vinyl or Plastic - Choosing the Right Shower Curtains

Fabric shower curtains have been around for a very long time. Used to divide a bathroom into a space to shower in and the rest of the bathroom,
these curtains also provide privacy for the person taking a shower. On top of that a shower curtain helps to keep the rest of the bathroom dry when showering.

Nowadays you can buy shower curtains made of fabric, plastic, and there are even designer shower curtains available. If you really want to add an individual touch to your bathroom you could decide to have your favourite picture printed on the shower curtain or you could have one custom painted by an artist, in your favourite colors and themes.

What are shower curtains made of?

As said before unique shower curtains or plain shower curtains can be made out of various materials. The most commonly used materials are
  • Vinyl. This material is easy to clean and will have to be washed or wiped down with a special cleaning spray or cleaning vinegar regularly to avoid staining.
  • Cloth. This material is not the best to stop water from spilling into the bathroom, but is easy to way and keep clean.
  • Plastic. This material is more prone to water staining than the other materials, and the bottom edges of the curtains can get pretty stained and dirty if you don't make sure to keep the curtains clean and dry them off after showering.

The purpose of shower curtains

Shower curtains serve more than one purpose, making them one of the most useful items to be found in our bathrooms since they were invented. The many uses of shower curtains are:
  • A shower curtain prevents water from flooding the bathroom when you are having a shower. It keeps everything outside your shower cubicle dry.
  • A shower curtain provides privacy for the person who is taking a shower.
  • There are unique shower curtains that can make a bathroom look great, from custom made shower curtains that add a bit of personality to your bathroom, to designer shower curtains that add a sense of luxury to your private space.

What are the different types of shower curtains?

There are different types of shower curtains and depending on your personal preferences, but also on (for example) the fact that you have children who might need a shower curtain made of a stronger material that will get damaged less easily.
